update

  Right now, major election forecasters have ranked FIVE tight Senate races as “toss-ups” in battleground states like Arizona, Colorado, North Carolina, Maine, and Montana. We just need to flip FOUR of those Republican-held seats to take back the majority this November, but only if we…

  If there’s anything us Minnesotans know from experience, it’s that our state is far from “safe” in an election year. Our race for Senate is up in the air right now. A major election forecaster even ranked us as one of the top 10 seats most likely to flip (not good!). Everything we d…
